Barbara Bennett works at the intersection of law and technology. She works with internal attorneys, staff and outside counsel to encourage best practices surrounding advanced analytics tools.

Her efforts streamlined the lifecycle and enhanced technology of eDiscovery software tools, significantly reducing the volume of data, and saved FCA hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last year alone. She also works with the company’s Artificial Intelligence Task Force Team, which is exploring potential uses of the technology across all business units. Those potential uses could be reducing risks and downtime, improving customer satisfaction and identifying trends.

Bennett serves on the Advisory Board of the national chapter of the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists and as chapter liaison, where she mentors other women. For the Detroit chapter, she has helped design education sessions for the annual symposium.

“Barb Bennett has created organizations and mentored some of the most notable legal professionals to include partners in Detroit and globally on behalf of ACEDS,” said Executive Director Mary Mack. “She is an invaluable member of our ACEDS community and we wish her continued success and well-deserved congratulations on this prestigious honor.”
